Julia's Coke Can Van de Graaff generator
Julia made a Van de Graaff generator out of PVC pipe and a coke can. She did a science fair project where she was testing static charges with an easy to build charge detector (seen here in all its alligator clip and LED glory).It was a pretty neat thing to do.
All of the projects came from Billb's HV/Electrostatic Build-it Projects and Scitoys
And NO, I did not build it for her. I did drill a couple of holes and gave suggestions for dealing with the problem of the rubber band that was moving electrons around getting stuck, though.
Sand Mandala of the Buddhist Monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery of Tibet
At the church where Mary takes Chinese dance lessons, The Buddhist Monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery of Tibet are constructing a Sand Mandala.Last year it took the monks just over two weeks to construct it and we were able to watch for 3 Sunday's in a row. Yesterday was the only day we were able to see it this year. We did not have dance class over Thanksgiving weekend and Mary's dance performance is this coming Saturday, so there will be no dance practice on Sunday.
It is fascinating to watch the monks make this.
